VANITY CONTAINER.

Application tiled March 1,9, 1925.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM nn Gener, a citizen ot the United States, residingat Providence,'in the county of Providence and .State ot Rhode Island, live invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vanity Containers, of which the following is a Specification.

My invention relates to vanity containers of the vessel type, and has lor its essential objects adaptability for use upon the dresser, bureau, or other article of furniture, in distinction from portable use; to adapt container ot this type to use for both powder and rouge; to disguise such double use and preserve unbroken the external contour of theV vessel; and to attain these ends in a structure inexpensive to construct and convenient to operate.

To the above ends essentially my invenN tion consists in such parts and in such combinations of parts as tall within the scope ofthe appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings which torina part of this specilic tion,

Figure 1 is a top plan view of my container, and

Figure 2, a side elevation, partly in transverse central section, ot the same.

Like reference characters indicate like parts tiiroughout the views.

In detail my container consists ot a body 4t composed oi glass, china, or other suitable material, having a circular contour, and comprisino a Het bottoni 5, a swelled side 6, a substantially flat top 7, centrally oi" which is an opening 8 bounded by a vertical `flange or rim 9. The body has greater horizontal than vertical dimensions, and in this instance is substantially elliptical in cross section. For these reasons the body is not readily accidentally tipped over.

A hollow cover 11 ot metal. china, glass or other material is fitted to the body In c ctail the cover comprises. a circular convex top 12 having a swelled projecting side 13 .and a depending flange 15, around an opening 16 in its bottom 17. This flange has a beaded bottom 18 and is a sliding fit upon the flange or rimk 9, and the bottom of the former rests on the top 7 of the vessel'body l. The top of the cover has a circular open- Seral No. 16,@43.

ing 2O which forms the mouth of a rece-ptacle pocket 2l. The pocket is cylindrical in shape, having a bottom 22 and a side wall 3 provided with an internal annular shoulder 24 at its top, to atlord a rest for a convex closure disk 25 which closes the pocket. The disk is thus flush with the top 12 of the cover 11. Integral with the center ot' the disk, and spun up therefrom is a hollow knob member 26 comprising a tapering body portion 2T and a. convex lid 28 connected to the body by a hinge 29. The body has an internal annular shoulder 30.

The pocket or receptacle 21 .is adapted to receive a powder or other compact 32, and is wholly concealed from view from the exterior ot the cover 11. Loose powder or other cosmetic 33 may be sel body el. The pocket is accessible by litting the member-25, and the body 4 is accessible by manually lifting the member l1. ylhe receptacle formed by the knob member is adapted to receive and support on the shoulder 30 a ronge or other compact 35 which is accessible by lifting the lid.

I claim:-

1. In a vanity container, a transversely .elliptical vessel provided with a central opening, a vertical rim upon the vessel around the opening, a cover comprising a hollow body provided with an opening in its top, a pocket tast to the top around the second opening and depending into the body, said pocket being' provided in its top with an internal annular shoulder, a detached closure disk seated on the shoulder and Hush with the top of the body, and a liange on the cover slidably engaging the rim.

In a vanity container, a vessel, a cover on the vessel provided with a central receptacle, a plate in the cover constituting a closure for the receptacle, and a hollow knob member centrally disposed on the plate comprising a flaring body portion provided with an internal annulag seat adapted to support a compact and a lid hingedly connected to the body portion.

In testimony whereof I have athXed my signature.

WILLIAM nn GOEY.
